I guess that is the problem with being young and rich it all depends on what Mum & Dad gave them to play with.

My generation it was "Tonker Toys" so rich kids bought trucks and 4x4s.

Chris Eubank is a classic example, huge trucks while wearing a Sheriff Badge!

A few new Insta posts will soon cover the cost of the "thing" , last year he reputedly earned up to $475,000 dollars per post and any leftover $$ can go towards an eye test and "taste" transplant.

It has to be drug related .
I knew the guy that built that. His name was Toby Baxter and it was built in a factory unit in Biggleswade. The number plate was owned by an old friend of mine, Dick Sheriff, who owned FAB 1 and 1 FAB. He was a car dealer from Hitchin. That was a while ago now !. Both passed away long time ago.

Thanks for that info, I did a google search and came up with this. I looked at the front wheels on the photo posted above and though Bedford Duple! :) As used in The Italian Job 1968. :cool:

How do the four front wheels work ? Surely that is a recipe for tyre scrub ? :rolleyes:

As a member of a few car clubs over the years I have met quite a few young rich lads and the answer that seems to fit the question is "Lots, and a lot of them are very expensive ones". Rare 911s, GT2 RS, Lambos, R8s, Ferraris, even Fiat 500s and Trimuph GT6s get a look in, a real mix, but a lot of high priced cars in their collections.
